Contribute an Article

Many articles in journals and edited volumes are too difficult for undergraduate students to understand. We invite you to contribute citations for articles that undergraduate students in mineralogy can read and understand.

If you wish to contribute a specific classroom activity or assignment using the article you have contributed, please make your contribution below and then visit Activities and Assignments to contribute the activity/assignment.

Please enter a brief description of the article and its value for teaching mineralogy, using the text below as an example.

Students can gain a sense of real-world mineralogy with this case study about asbestos in the town of Libby, Montana. The USGS investigated the mineral content of several U.S. vermiculite deposits to determine if the amphibole asbestos minerals like those found in the Libby deposits are common in other vermiculite deposits. This paper can provide grounds for a class discussion about the occurrence and hazards of fibrous amphiboles.
